There was a Mattie A. Bryant of Edmunds who married Alan Leighton of Edmunds on 29 January 1916. Could she be the same Mattie? <br /><br />In the 1900 Census of Eastport, Maine, Henry Bryant is living as a boarder in the household of Benjamin Newman and wife Delia, who had a daughter Livenia Newman. There&#39;s a Maine Marriage record for the marriage of Lavinia L. Newman and Harry E. Bryant, both of Eastport, on 2 May 1900, which was shortly before the enumeration, so she was actually Levinia Bryant by that time. <br /><br />So if I have the correct family, I think Mattie&#39;s parents were Henry and Livenia (middle initial L. or S.) (Newman) Bryant, but more work needs to be done. The Newman family on that 1900 Census were all born in Canada, perhaps Campobello, as there were a lot of folks named Newman there, and Benjamin and Delia are on the 1881 Census of Campobello. Campobello Island is a short row from Treat Island, and it&#39;s not much farther to Eastport, Maine.<br /><br />You might want to check out the Maine &amp; Maritime Canada Genealogy network at http://downeastmainegenealogy.ning.com.

There&#39;s a summer water taxi between Eastport and Lubec that passes right by. Is the Pyke surname a variant of the Pike surname of downeast Maine? I don&#39;t know if you are a member of the Washington County [Maine] Historical and Genealogical Society or not, but several members are Allan descendants, including a Mr. Carter who is very knowledgeable about area history and genealogy.Pam Beveridgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06272409581983333836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470217109659177851.post-37203374343603144152012-02-10T08:48:27.251-08:002012-02-10T08:48:27.251-08:00John Allan is my 5th generation great-grand uncle....John Allan is my 5th generation great-grand uncle.
